You have just showed just how little you know about DMOZ.

DMOZ is poorly run because they obviously cannot keep up with their queue.
|
WHat queue? There is a pool of sites that DMOZ lets anyone suggest a site to, that editors may or may not look at when they want to look for sites to add to a category. Editors can look anywhere for sites and some editors ignore the pool of suggested site as they are so full of crap. Editors are not there to process submissions; they are there to build categories of resources. Editors are not there to provide a listing service to webmasters. Other directories provide that service

If their editors are denying submissions, they would be better off contacting the submitters and informing them.
|
Why? How much are you paying for this service you are expecting?
Quote:

Instead they let submitters wonder aimlessly for years. There is a big lack of communication.
|
How much are you paying for this service you are expecting? As your service expectations are not being met, can I suggest you ask them for a refund.

DMOZ is poorly run because many categories don't have editors.

Wrong. Every category has several 100 editors.

DMOZ is poorly run because there are rampant rumors (and some evidence) that editors became editors just to promote their own sites and to block the inclusion of their competition.
|
Surely someone with any intelligence would notice that everytime there is one of these rumors that NEVER is any evidence produced. Have you not noticed that?

DMOZ is poorly run because after more than 5 years, they have done nothing to address the above mentioned issues.
|
What issues? Your service expectations? DMOZ has never existsed to meet the service expectations of webmasters. Have you not noticed that the only people complaining about DMOZ are webmasters becuase their service expectations have not been met. DMOZ is not there to meet those service expectations. I have never ever seen a single complaint about DMOZ from those that DMOZ is being built for.

They still don't have enough editors.

Have you volunteered?

Imagine what would happen if ezinearticles.com got behind in their queues by 1 year+. If authors were not notified of inclusion or denial of their articles. The site would fold.

ezinearticles is there to offer a service to webmasters; DMOZ is not doing that.

DMOZ has been propped up by Google.

no it hasn't

As a result, webmasters continue to struggle with the inefficiencies of DMOZ.
|
I notice you avoided answering my question. If DMOZ is so inefficient at what it does, then:
Quote:
If it is so poorly run, then why is it:
1. Grown into the biggest directory on the www and no other directory comes remotely close to its size
2. The fastest growing directory on the www and no other directory come remotly close to DMOZ's growth rate.
